 From Steiner-Optik of Germany, New Merlin Wildlife Binoculars Let You Discern Dazzling Detail and Color-Rich Plumage — With Crystalline Clarity from Afar.
For well over 50 years, venerable Steiner Optik has occupied the pre-eminent position as Europe’s leading maker of high-end sporting binoculars. Steiner’s new Merlin Series binoculars are so well built, so typically German over-engineered, they will easily last your lifetime and beyond. And the view is spectacular!
 Rich Detail — Observing birds or wildlife through Merlins puts lesser brands to shame. Bounding quarry and birds in flight snap into focus thanks to a knurled, center-focusing wheel with a precise, counter-weighted feel. Phase-corrected multi coating on all lenses seems to illuminate distant targets, particularly in low light. Superb Steiner-Optik glass creates brilliant contrast where only haze appears to the naked eye. Color fidelity is absolutely brilliant. And you’ll pick out incredibly minute details, right down to individual feathers on the wings of an eagle — all thanks to the spectacular resolving power and light-gathering ability of Merlin’s 8 x 42 configuration. And a generous field of view of 342' @ 1000 yds. makes it a snap to track escaping game, or birds in flight!
Sleek — Merlin’s sleek roof prism design replace the bulky porro prisms that make ordinary binoculars so heavy and awkward to carry. Instead, Merlins are light in the field, and exceptionally comfortable around your neck. Yet the rugged alloy body can take rough handling without affecting critical internal alignment. Shock-absorbing, earth-tone rubber armor gives a firm grip in the damp, and makes Merlin’s silent while stalking; nearly invisible to wildlife. Completely sealed for absolute waterproof/fogproof performance in any weather. Diopter adjustment for differences in eye strength. Extended eyecups retract while wearing glasses. Includes deluxe molded case, attached lens caps, neoprene neck strap and rain guard. 8 x 42 are 6½” long and just 23 oz.; 10 x 42 are 6” long and 24 oz.
